Clare Muscutt talks with Jo van Riemsdijk about motherhood, CX recruitment and how to get hired!

Discrimination against women in the workplace is a very real
problem in the UK, & according to the most recent statistics,
it’s getting worse!


 


54,000 pregnant women have been made redundant, a figure doubled
since 2005


 


The gender pay gap is widening for women returning to work after
children at 33% less than men in the 12 years following birth


 


Whilst there are laws protecting women’s employment rights, The
Women and Equalities Commitee says “Urgent action” is needed to
give pregnant women and new mothers more protection!


 


In this snippet of my interview with Jo van Riemsdijk she shared
her experience of experiencing stigma from recruiters about being
of ‘child bearing age’, becoming pregnant one week into a new job
and going into labour whilst at work!


 


This isn’t the first woman I’ve heard share such a story, or felt
the pressure to go back to work immediately or before she is
ready, so as not to miss the opportunities of her peers.


 


Jo and I talked about her experience of becoming a working
mother, how she started her own recruitment business CX Talent
Ltd with her BFF & her top tips for getting hired during
these crazy Covid times.
